Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 14, 2024

Stantis = idiocracy to the bothsides do it squared!!

Tell us again trumps’ platform, I got 10 seconds to spare. And vance reminds me of house mouse johnson…both surrendered their manhood to kiss trumps ring. ( I was being nice)

Ohhhhh, exactamundo.

They can’t answer this simple question because Kamala is a shell, and there’s nothing inside. A complete phony that has used the Peter Principle to her advantage.

If people are not aware of what Kamala Harris stands for, or her record of achievement, it indicates someone who is not politically literate, but since so many voters are poorly informed, it also means she has work to do to introduce herself and her background to the American people.

Fortunately, we have a whole week of a Democratic National Convention coming up starting next Monday, in which Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, will have plenty of time to do that.

And unlike the Republicans, who (as they did in 2020) once again dismissed the idea of any formal platform, and just said their platform is nothing more than whatever their nominee, authoritarian DonOLD Trump wants. Prior to 2020, no major political party had ever done such a thing.

In any case, some of the things Kamala Harris proudly stands for:

• Real personal freedom for Americans, not the hollow lip-service of Republicans. This includes the right of INDIVIDUALS, not Big Intrusive Government, to make their own personal decisons about private relationships (decide who you can or can’t marry or even what private behavior choices among consenting adults are allowed behind closed doors), private medical choices (reproductive choices such as abortion, IVF or even contraception, medical or recreational marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies, gender-identity care, transgender equal rights), tell us what books we or our children can have access to, and not have Big Government impose PRIVATE religion into PUBLIC policy and religious rituals into public meetings or subsidize it with special tax advantages (socialized religion) or post religious creeds in public school.

• Rights of workers to leverage the market power of their labor and organize in unions without interference, including outlawing non-compete agreements.

• Protecting workers wages, from minimum wages on up.

Continues…

I guess Stantis is pivoting back to the magat side. He evidently believes that The Messiah stands for something other than tax cuts for the rich, but can’t quite describe any of them.

You’ll notice that Stantis has never heard of project 2025, just like His Messiah.

As Chris Bok’s latested editorial cartoon stated with Nancy Pelosi saying: We have to elect Kamala in order to find out who see is.

She stands for winning the election, everything else is just filler.

At this stage, even if she didn’t stand for anything who she’s standing against would be enough!

Check out Tom Stiglich’s August 14, 2024 comic, if you want a clear picture of where Kamala HT Harris stands on policy.

I’m glad her positive ratings have increased since Biden’s inner circle was forced to step away from her. They are the ones who kept her handcuffed and muzzled in order to prevent her from outshining the President. Hopefully she can keep the momentum going until Election Day and send the orange clown onward to the asheap of history.

Decency. Service. Honesty.

Three words Trump doesn’t even know the meaning of.

You don’t want to know. I hate Trump, but I’m going to have to vote for him. I’d vote for a good third party candidate, but we don’t have one, they can’t win anyway, and we can’t afford another fraudulent “Anti-inflation” bill.

On the other hand, can anyone name what Republicans stand for? They just seem to stand against things.

Oh oh, Carmine’s talking like a Right wing Republican! Help!!!

Remember that the position of Vice-president was created so the holder of it would be basically invisible.

One of FDR’S VP’s said the job “wasn’t worth a bucket of warm spit”.

We only remember one thing Mike Pence did in four years, and he only did that to keep himself alive

Rule of law, the common good, democracy, opposition to autocracy. All the things Trump hates.

Her SOLE qualification is : she’s not Trump. This suffices for her supporters.

Harris stands for our rights. The right to choose. She stands for the workers and middle class. She stands for democracy instead of autocracy.

What is Stantis trying to do here?

This is a comic strip comment section, not an editorial page or a personal blog.

Dumbold Chump stands for the rich ONLY….not the working class. NEVER cared about the working class (or his MAGA-toid supporters).

Um . . . In Monday’s Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s two hour-long discussion on X:

- Trump mused that rising sea levels, caused by melting glaciers, would have the benefit of creating “more oceanfront property”.

- He also raised the threat of “nuclear warming” – a phenomenon that does not exist in science and which he seemingly invented.

- Musk, meanwhile, said it was wrong to “vilify” the oil and gas industry, the key driver of planet-heating pollution, and that the only imperative to ditch fossil fuels was that they will one day run dry.

Biden-Harris inflation is crushing America and American Workers. Bidenflation

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain hit former President Trump on labor policy Tuesday, claiming Trump “doesn’t care about working-class people.”

“Donald Trump’s all talk, and he’s a master at BS,” Fain told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “The bottom line is this, Donald Trump doesn’t care about working-class people, and he showed it when he was president.”

I don’t get why everyone acts like they don’t know what she stands for. It’s out there if you look. She’s debated in 2019 plus she’s been a public official for 20 plus years and she was part of the Biden administration. It’s not a big mystery! Harris/Walz 2024
